Captivated by Curiosity

The whole world pauses before him
Consumed in this man's travels as he walks
Through the night, to a place
Even the night sky finds fascinating.


Through the mountains of trials
He reached this clearing with a wide
Course to follow, that no one has
Stepped foot on before.

He has left the clouds of his past for
The pastures of his tomorrows. He is absorbed
By his mission, concentrating his thoughts.
Just a man on a simple journey.

Just a single act, and yet the world is
On hold,  Silently cheering for success,
holding its breath against failure.
Waiting to see just what the man does.

Yet the light behind him comes from the troubles,
the regrets and broken promises he has grown past.
He found a land full of possibilities and is
absorbed in the graces of hope for a greater tomorrow.
